There are few breeders who have as much experience breeding Modern Game Bantams as Don Bischof. These stylized birds with their length of leg, tight feather, and reptilian head are one of the totally unique breeds in the exhibition poultry world. As 4-H and FFA project birds there are none better, as the Modern Game Bantams are docile, easy to handle, and easy to train for show. Breeders will appreciate the skill that has gone into creating birds that show equal length of shank, thigh, and neck – all while maintaining a compact body and tight feather. For 2021 Don is offering Modern Game Bantam trios in Red Pyle, Silver Duckwing, White, and Black. Other color varieties are periodically available so let us know if there is a particular color you are looking for. Don personally handles each bird for quality to ensure that only the finest birds are shipped. Modern Game Bantams normally ship January through April, and the exact ship date will depend on availability of the birds and agreeable weather conditions.
Modern Game Bantam Adult
Young adult birds are generally shipped October through May and may be shipped at other times, weather permitting. With adult birds you know you’re getting birds that have gone through our rigorous selection process and will be the best genetics we have to offer. As birds are produced in small numbers from premium stock, stock is limited, and availability may depend on how well the birds are producing. We do not keep a waitlist, so birds are shipped in the order they are paid.
Birds are shipped USPS Express Mail to the lower 48 states and Alaska. We ship each Tuesday, and a specific shipping date will be confirmed when the birds are ready to ship. The tracking number will be communicated after the birds have shipped, and we ask that you let us know when they arrive. Any loss as the result of shipping will be managed via the USPS insurance program and replacements will be shipped when they come available. We do not offer shipping refunds for shipments that arrive past the scheduled delivery time. Bird purchases are not refundable.
In preparation for receiving your new birds, we encourage you to have cage space ready with fresh shavings. It is a good idea to contact your local post office the week of shipment to let them know you are expecting a shipment of live birds an ask them to call you as soon as the birds arrive to save them time in transit. Newly arrived birds will benefit from electrolytes in their water.
